On Sunday November 17, twelve students from Evergreen Elementary and two students from R.D. Wilson participated in the Girls on the Run 5k at Keystone College. The three mile run capped off the first ever ten week season of Girls on the Run at EverGreen Elementary.
Girls on the Run is a national non-profit which hosts after school programs promoting healthy habits, life skills and running based activities. Coach Rachel Fitzmorris said, “We are so proud of the 14 girls who completed this program. Watching them run three miles while cheering for each other was so inspiring. The whole mission of Girls on the Run is to show girls that they can do hard things. Seeing them come through the tunnel and get their medals was incredible. I want to thank coaches Mark and Beth Staples and Tanya Metschulat for all their hard work this season.”
